How is having the forums in a read only state any different from being deleted in regards to it being closed?
I get what you are saying that there is a difference between deleting the forums and leaving them open for those to read for the record. At the same time the latter doesn’t exactly imply anything different from the former when it comes to whether or not the forums are open for those to post.
Thats also being aware you’re not referring to any mistakes in the why they died off, that being brought up is solely my doing but I do feel that there is some relevancy to why it led to the forums dying since, when the community was thriving it was because many of us who have been here from the start were spriters and pixel artists and not just a couple of people who ripped graphics from the games.
